Chapter 279: The Mighty Tide Has Risen

With Wang Tong's order, the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard all raised their embroidered spring knives, and those who were arrested still had a trace of luck in their hearts at this time, hoping to just send them to the yamen.

After all, Jinhe Warehouse is very open in Tianjin's large and small yamen, and maybe it can be released if you suffer a little crime, and after Wang Tong's "kill" was spoken, everyone collapsed.

"The lord spares his life!"

Everyone was crying like this, except for this sentence, they couldn't shout other words, "click" and "click" sounds, and dozens of heads had fallen to the ground.

Gao Tongzhi of the Qing Military Hall closed his eyes, didn't dare to look at it anymore, subconsciously staggered back a few steps, didn't know what he tripped over, and sat directly on the ground.

None of the palanquin drivers and servants of this fellow acquaintance knew how to come to help, and they all hid back in fear, and their faces were like earth, and they couldn't say a word.

The shouts of the audience, the shouts of collapse, and some writhing and chaotic movements all stopped abruptly at this moment, and there was no sound for a long time, and all the people who were caught in the Jinhe Warehouse were lying on the ground, not daring to move or even make a sound.

After a while, the brocade-clothed guard put the knife back into its scabbard, and Wang Tong said on the horse:

"The rest of the people are all arrested and tortured severely, among them, there must be people who know the mastermind and accomplices, and some people know the cause and effect, and this official will never let go of a rebellious thief!!"

With an order, the Jinyi guards stepped forward with whips and whipped them, forcing the already wooden Jinhe Warehouse to stand up and down and go to the prison of the Jinyi Guard's Office.

Gao Tongzhi, who was sitting on the ground, finally struggled to stand up, lifted the hem of his official robe, ran to Wang Tong in small steps, raised his head and pleaded with Wang Tong and said:

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, act cautiously, act cautiously, I have killed so many people, Gao has no way to explain to Fuzun, Jinhe Warehouse is not just a store, the princes of the court and the central government have taken care of it, and now it has become like this, and if you arrest people back, wouldn't it be even more impossible to end, stop it in time, lest it not end!"

Wang Tong glanced at Gao Tongzhi a few times, laughed out loud on the horse, and said after laughing:

"Things have come to this point, you call the official to end it, Gao Tongzhi, don't say that you didn't hear the rumors about this matter, this official will not end up in this matter, you must investigate it to the end!"

After speaking, he shook the reins, ignored Gao Tongzhi, who had an extremely ugly face there, and said loudly:

"Leave ten people here to guard, and the others will return to the camp with the prisoners!!"

While he was talking, battalion officer Zhao Hong trotted to Wang Tong and reported in a deep voice:

"My lord, what to do with those idlers who watch the excitement?"

"How to deal with it, of course, it is to bring it back for interrogation, these bastards are all human witnesses!"

Wang Tong commented coldly on the horse:

"Ignorant and stupid, I thought the government was afraid of things, and I provoked trouble several times, and now I wait until a certain family shows a knife, and the head falls to the ground, everyone knows that it is powerful!!"

After finishing speaking, he knocked on the horse's belly and walked away, leaving only a bloody stain and a white face Gao Tongzhi.

The news quickly spread throughout the Tianjin Acropolis, when the official sent to collect the peace money, most of the shops were still afraid of the official and afraid of the management, although reluctantly, but also paid the money, at this time are very happy.

But the shops next to the Jinhe Warehouse, watching the Jinhe Warehouse majesticly beat the Jinyi Guards like that, and laughed, and felt that they didn't have to pay the peace silver.

There is also the one who consciously understands the general trend of the imperial court, hears some rumors, and thinks that this brocade guard is blackmailing for money, and he also stubbornly resists the people who have not paid it.

Now they are all in a hurry, as soon as the news of the bombardment of Jinhe Warehouse came, everyone panicked, some people hurriedly went to the door to find the broken sign, and some people took the silver and ran to the Jinyi Health Office.

But no one expected Wang Tong's reaction to be so fast, and by the time they ran to the Jinyi Health Office, the operation was over.

More than 70 bloody heads hung on the edge of the courtyard wall, and the businessmen who hurried to pay the money were all trembling and weak, and some even fell to the ground while walking.

When I collected the money just now, all of them were righteous and awe-inspiring, and now they are on the pole to pay the money, even if those soldiers of Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu in the past, they are also angry when they look at the before and after comparison.

"My lord, the little one didn't have so much silver just now, and now he brought the silver to the adult."

"These are not enough, the fine for one moment late is doubled, the fine for one hour late is three times, and the fine for one day late is ten times, make up for it!!"

In order to collect peace money, this brocade guard used artillery, don't wait for the artillery to bombard, more points will be more points, it is better than no life.

The matter is not over here, these merchants who paid the silver late, the Ping An brand has been withdrawn, and it has been replaced with a Ping An brand with black letters on a red background, and the monthly payment of this brand is more than 50%, and it can only be exchanged after a year.

Those who thought they were tough and smashed the brand at that time naturally had to spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a brand with black letters on a red background, and it would take three years to hang it, and then say whether the brand was changed after three years.

From the morning when the Ping An sign collected the money to the time when the money was hurriedly delivered in the afternoon, the time did not exceed three hours. Now these businessmen are complaining bitterly, in the morning others come to the door to collect, they grit their teeth and can not give, in the afternoon they send money to the door, send it in a low voice, others may not be willing to receive, but also pay a lot more, why bother.

There are really a lot of people who are related, many people go to the military preparation Dao Panda, the grain eunuch Wan Dao, and even some people ask for the general Li Dameng, but no one pays attention.

In the afternoon, when they went to the Jinyi Guard Office to pay the peace money, everyone knew one thing, the three largest businesses in the city, out of the Jinhe Warehouse outside the trouble, Tonghai and Yongsheng both paid the peace money in the morning.

After hearing the news, everyone beat their chests and regretted it, and those who were rich and powerful did not come out, and they followed what they bounced.

"Interrogation overnight, human evidence, physical evidence, confessions must be complete, and there can be no less handprints, the people in the Jinhe Warehouse and those idlers who watch the excitement, if you want to go out, you must find a guarantor in the city. Wang Tong gave orders in the Jinyi Health Office, and Sun Dahai continued to assign people there, and this kind of torture and censorship was still relatively proficient in Jingshi.

After giving the order here, Wang Tong said to Hang Daqiao again:

"Several injured brothers, as well as Lang Zhong who treated them for illness, also have to write testimonies and press their handprints to draw them!!"

Sun Dahai answered, and was about to ask the people around him to do it, but he was stunned and turned his head and asked:

"My lord, look at the sick Lang Zhong, why do you still have to confess?"

"How many bones are broken, what bruises there are on the body, and how much time you have to recuperate, this must be recorded, and these Langzhong must sign jointly."

Sun Dahai agreed as if he didn't understand, and hurriedly went down to do it, Wang Tong sent someone to invite Tan Jian over again, and as soon as he entered the door, he commanded:

"Wait for the confession to come out, you take these documents and newspapers to Beijing immediately, and report to the Fusi Yamen of Jinyi Weibei Town in the form of official documents, if you don't accept it there, you will directly find someone to report to the Yamen of the Command Division!"

Tan Jian nodded and took the order, Wang Tong turned around and whispered to Zhang Shiqiang:

"I'll write a letter here, you go to Jingshi overnight, and the sooner you hand over the iron box to Jingshi, the better!!"

Zhang Shiqiang hurriedly stood up and agreed, Wang Tong stood up and relaxed, and said with a smile:

"Until now, it's up to who's news to get to the capital soon."

There was such a big event in the city, but all the forces in Tianjin remained silent, but at this time, all those who were qualified to write about the music and had such and such relationships in the Beijing division were writing about what happened today, either objectively or distorted, and naturally had to add their own judgments.

In addition to the warehouses and warehouses on both sides of the canal, there are also some courtyards built by wealthy families to see the scenery of the canal, but one courtyard is more lively than the others, and it is full of people from early in the morning.

"Big boss, you always have to come forward to intercede on this matter, Jinhe Warehouse has died more than 70 surnames for this outhead, and now more than 100 people up and down are still locked up and down in prison"

"What are you crying about, didn't your whole family be outside the city last night, only more than 70 lives, what is it when you ran a caravan outside the mouth and killed more than 70 people, I have my own plans, go out and stay honest!!"

An impatient reprimand, the man who knelt there and cried did not dare to say more, and immediately walked out, and there was no commotion outside, but the room was very quiet.

The man sat for a while, but he still moved his fat body and stood up, this person was Chai Fulin, the owner of the Tonghai Warehouse, he walked two steps in the room with a gloomy face, shook his head and whispered:

"At a young age, such a ruthless method, not only dare to kill people on the street, but also dare to shoot on the street, more than 70 lives, so daring, so daring!"

As he spoke, he clapped his palms, but laughed and said in a low voice:

"Build this cannon but collect money in the city, really an ignorant and incompetent junior, this place in the city, so a little money, and whatever you want, when the street fires, kill innocents, don't you know that those big guys in the court are waiting for your mistakes, you send it to the door yourself, it saves my strength, wonderful, wonderful********** when the Jinyi Guard Office was busy, Qiao Da, the leader of the blacksmith workshop, also hurried over, seeing such busyness, people also cringed a little.

Seeing Wang Tong take the letter out and hand it to Zhang Shiqiang, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Wang Tong's ear, Wang Tong was stunned at first, and then the smile on his face gradually expanded.

Zhang Shiqiang ran down the steps quickly, and was stopped by Wang Tong before he left the yard, Zhang Shiqiang turned around, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Wait half an hour, and there's a letter for you."

Wang Tong turned around and entered the house, clenched his fists and waved excitedly, everyone who saw it wondered why the mood of the adults suddenly improved a lot.
